Good afternoon. Help me to understand. How are snow and wind loads collected and set according to Eurocodes?
And also from seismic. Maybe there is some kind of step-by-step instruction?

well read Eurocode...its all there what you need
or what do you not understand ??
 
I need a load collection table compiled according to Eurocodes. I can’t figure out how they are going to.
 
Show us an example of needed 'load collection table compiled according to' any other code and we could try to help you
 
Sorry ..but what is a "load collection table" ??
You mean load combinations ???
 
Here's what our load and impact table looks like. We are switching to Eurocodes and for the calculation part we need a load collection table compiled according to Eurocodes. I want to figure out where and how to load. What coefficients are applied and where do they come from. If you have a table with the collection of loads and links where it comes from, I will be very grateful.

I still do not understand your question or problem ?
 
The Eurocode 1 and NA gives you the combinations. and reduction factors when you have different 'leading variables' of which wind and snow are both. As is live. You need to switch your leading variable around until you get the worse case. Its all written in the code.
